"This is a no-nonsense, to-the-point resource for students who need
a readable, comprehensive, reliable source of knowledge. Expect
expertise: each author has established his or her authority on the
subject at hand. This is a surprisingly uniform and historically
set of essays."
-"Slavic Review,
"Intended for general readers and undergraduates, this book more
than fulfills its promise; it offers surprising depth as well as
the expected breadth of subject...Especially noteworthy is
Cornwell's introduction, a tour de force of brevity coupled with a
wealth of information that gives an accurate portrayal of Russia's
literary heritage. Indispensable addition to all undergraduate
collections, a welcome source for graduate students, and a worthy
introduction to Russian literature for public libraries."
